SOLD HIMSELF TO AN ARAB.

Remarkable Expedfent Adopted by
Dr. Junker to Get Out of Central
Africa.
Not few people have wondered how
DR.. Junker, who has just returned to
civilization from central Africa, succeed
ed in passing safely through the hos
tile tribes in the lake region. The mis-
terry is explained at last. and DIR. Junk
er deserves credit for inventing an in
genious method of reducing danger to
minimum in traversing unfriendly
parts of Africa.
Before going far from Albert Nyanza
he ascertained that there was no hope
OF his getting through the territory of
the Waganda and one or two other hos
lille tribes without aid. If he was not
murdered he would at least be detained
as prisoner. Now and then an Arab
trading caravan started for the coast,
but the Arabs were afraid to appear to
befriend him, rs they could not afford
to incur the i'll will of the native kings.
In this emergency the novel idea oc-
cured to DR.. Junker to sell himself ali
slave to one of the Arab traders. A
bargain was struck, and he ostensiblv
became the property of the trader. The
contract stipulated that the Arab, fof
the sum of 1,500 Austrian dollars, was
to deliver the traveller alive at Zanihaf,
where upon the presentation of the con-
tract the money would be paid to him
by firm doing business there. 1t hap
pened that DIR. Junker had with him an
order written in Arabic by the firm. au-
thorizing him to make any desirable ar
engagements with the Arab traders of
Central Africa.
So DIR. Junker set out with his Arab
caravan, which took him straight into
the lions den, or, in other words, into
the chief town of M'wanga, the cruel
despot Uganda. The chief trader rep
resented that Junker was not his friend
or travelling companion, but was his
slave, whom he had bought of a negro
tribe further north. In his capicty as q
slave DIR. Junker passed muster in the
court of King M'wanga, and he was
permitted to go in peace with his
owner.
Any one who had seen likeness Of
DIR. Junker, taken since his return to
Egypt can not fail to have been struck
by the deep lines of care and anxiety
that the past seven years of life in saw
age wilds have stamped upon his face.
pr Junker is very exceptional man.
for he has wealth, and could, if he
wished, lead a life of ease; but his de-
votion to science has lead him to denv
himself all the pleasures of civilization,
and for years subject himself to re-
markable hartiships and deprivations.

DissOlving Reichstags.

The Gar Nicholas was in the habit
of saying. my climate, my snow, my
thunderstorm. He was really of the
opinion that he owned everything in
sight and had a builders lien on the
unseen world. Bismarck seems to be
pretty much of the same opinion in re-
gard to the Reichstag. It is his Reich
stag.
OF what use the Reichstag is except
to be dissolved, is not very apparent.
Now that Bismarck has got into tho
habit of dissolving the Reichstag he
will find it very hard to break himself
of it, even if he should desire to do so,
After while, just before retiring,
Mrs. Bismarck may say:

plies the Iron Chancellor, and resuming
his garments he goes over to the Reich.
stag and dissolves it.
Occasionally it may happen that some
old friend from the country pays the
Chancellor friendly visit. After Bis
marck has shown the visitor all the
sights in and around Berlin, he will re-
mark: by tam! you have never seen
me dissolve Reichstag. Choost come
along NIT me-" and they go over and
the Reichstag comes unglued at once.
1t is to be hoped that he will not be
kept SO busy dissolying Reichstags that
he will neglect his meals, and other
household duties. He might have
telephone communication with the
speakers chair. and dissolve it by wire,
or he might take some worthy young
man in hand and teach him how to dis
solve it.
No matter how submissive the Reich
stag may be, that will not prevent Bis
narck from dissolving it If he wants
the Reichstag to give him the earth, he
will get mad and dissolve that legisla-
live body because it neglected to give
aim the stars, also.
We do not presume to dictate to
Prince Bismarck. and anything we may
Say is more in the nature of a sugges-
uon than of a peremptory order. If
We had contract to dissolve Reich
stays we should adopt the suggestion
made by Ben Franklin to his father
when the former was boy. The elder
Franklin was in the habit of indulging
in lengthy grace before dinner, which
invariably consisted of corn beef and
cabbage.
Ben's suggestion was to the effect
that the old man 60 down into the eel
lar where the corn beef and cabbage
we're stored, and save time by saying
grace over it in bulk, slap-dash all at
once.
Why does not Bismarck dissolve the
Reichstag for good and all, and be done
with it?-Teras Stftings.

Lincoln, NeE., March 29.-The following
cablegram from Mr.. Parnell was received
by President Fitzgerald, Of the Irish.Am
lean league. to-day:
The coer cion bill proposed in the house
OF commons is the eighty seventh since
the act OF union, eighty-seven
years ago. It il also the me-
stringent. tyrannical and uncalled for by,
state OF things in Ireland. Never before has
n coercion bill been proposed when crime
was so rapidly decreasing as compared
with previous years, The measure is
aimed against all open agitation, and APP
pears to be expressly designed for driving
discomfort beneath the surface. It places
all public speakers, writer's and conductors
stipendiary magistrates holding their
offices at the pleasure of the crown. Itcon-
dennis the disappearing peasant OF rack
rented Kerry to the tender mercies of q pack
ed jury OF Orangemen or antiland leaguers
or a jury OF Englishmen at the Old Bailey in
London. The Liberal party, headed by
Gladstone, stands as one man against this
measure and will fight shoulder to shout
der with us, in opposition to it, to the
last. Il seems impossible to believe that
even the present house OF commons will
continue to follow the Tory government in
their mad course, and good judges consider
the measure will break and ruin the cabi-
net. We must, however prepare for the
worst; and | confidently appeal to the
American people for sympathy and sup
port which they have never withheld from
p people struggling for liberty.

Cleo Not So Bad After All.

Washington Special The popular no.
tions with respect to the extent OF butter
adulteration before the oleomargarine law
went into effect will not be sustained by
the Forthcoming report of Prof. Wiley,
chairman OF the department OF agriculture
on this subject. The materials
for Prot. Wiley's investigation were
purchased in open market in all
parts of the country, no intimation
being given in any case OF the purpose 10,
which the purchase was intended. In no
instance was it found that an article sold
in the market as butter was entirely fraud
ulent, and not more than one in
three were adulterated. The adulter
ated usually contained 80 to 40
per cent OF pure butter, the
remainder commonly consisting OF beef lat,
lard and cotton seed oil. Prof. Wiley de,
votes some space to the consideration Of
the opinions OF scientific men with regard
to the wholesomeness OF oleomargarine
and kindred compounds. He finds that
about nine out ofevery ten OF the scientists
who have expressed themselves declare a
belief that properly made oleomargarins
is unobjectionable and wholesome.
Plans were opened in the Office OF thu
secretary OF the navy for an armored
cruiser and powerful battle ship under
authority conferred by the act OF Aug. 3,

ropean papers since August last inviting
the submission OF plans. In case plan 10
accepted the designer is required to make
any changes desired by the department
free OF expense; and the department agrees
to pay $4,000 for the design Of each type
VI vessel which may be selected from the
plans submitted. The general require.

Two Great SNIP Canals.

Cham bers's Journal: Paris and Man.
Chtsler having both resolved on ship
caral, 1t now appears that Brussels ID
determined not to be behindhand, and
Therefore proposal has been made to
the municipality to construct a ship
canal to the SCbeldt, having depth OF
six and half meters, with quays suffi-
Ciently capacious TO allow twenty
ships, of $500 tons each, 10 unload or
load, and the whole is TO be connected
with the great Belgian line OF railway.
The teheme is bold one, but the
company who will undertake it-if il
is carr ed QUITS an English one, and
the contractors and workers will,
doubtless, be EDglish too.
While on this sub ject, we may men.
tion that such another scheme Is about
to be attempted In South Russia, by
the cutting Of a canal across the 18th
mus OF Perekop, to connect the Sea OF
Azov with the Waters Of the Black Sc ,.
BY this plaa q saving Of 100 miles OF
very rough sailing win be effected, and

The well known saying United we stand
divided we fall" was never more applicable
than in the present state of affairs on the
temperance question; and the recent call that
has been issued for a mass convention
Lawrence, is one of the hopeful signs OF the
times. 1t is earnestly hoped aud greatly to
be desired that at this convention all parti-
sanship may be laid aside, and all political
questions of the day forgotten, to the end
that this important matter may be cody and
carefully discussed, and that no errors may
be made in the preliminary steps necessary
for the suppression of the liquor traffic in
our county. Concerning the calling of this
special election, the law provides that upon
application by petition of not less than one
fifth of the legally qualified voters of any
county, the county clerk of such county shall
call an election TO take place within forty
days after the receipt OF such petition, but
such election shall not be held in any month
in which any other election is held. AS the
requisite number OF signatures for Van
Buren, county is only 1.5O0, little vigorous
work in every school district will quickly
procure the desired number and this, fol
lowed up by consistent voting, will keep Van
Buren, where she has stood since last spring
foremost III the temperance move, aud our
saloons will be thing of the past.

One GEORGE II. MOORE, not long since,
GEORGE WASHINGTON as an Angler and in
his letter of acknowledgment Mr.. CLEVELAND
says: "Please accept my thanks for that
little book you sent me, entitled WASHING
TON as an Angler / am much pleased to
learn that the only element Of greatness
heretofore unnoticed in the life of WASHING
TON is thus supplied. l am little curious
to know whether the absence of details as to
the result of his fishing is owing to bad luck,
q lack of liberation of fish stories at that
time among anglers, or to the fact that, even
as to the number of fish he caught, the father
of his country could not tell lie." The
president, as will be seen by the above, is
something of a wag indeed, he always was a
very funny man and delighted in saying
similarity in the sayings of the first and last
presidents. Az, for instance, note the Lam
guage of GROVER in vetoing the bill granting
pension to ALFRED DENNY, and then imag-
inc what WAsHINGToN would have said and
done under similar circumstances THE
number of instances in which those of our
soldiers who rode horses during the war
were injured by being thrown forward upon
their saddles, indicates that these saddles
were very dangerous contrivances." Also in
refusing pension TO JOHN w. FERRIS on
account of defective eyesight, occasioned by
illness contracted while in the army: 1.-The
ingenuity developed in the constant and per-
sistent attacks upon the public treasury by
those claiming pensions and the increase of
those already granted, is exhibited in bold
relief by this attempt to include sore eyes
among the results of diarrhea.' Then
again, his language in vetoing pension for
A. j. Wilson: Whatever else may be said
of this claimants achievements during his
short military career, it must be concluded
that he accumulated great deal of disabil-
ity." Whether treating of the subject of
the "father of his country" or the wounds
and sufferings of Union soldiers made Grip
pies and invalids while defending the flag of
their country, the comical president is funny
still. Almost any other person, under like
circumstances, would treat either subject
tenderly, if not reverently, but GROVER was
born 50 and he can't help it, and yet, in the
language of SAKE, perhaps" It's such a very
serious thing to be funny man."

The Ohio democrats will make the tariff
the leading issue at the coming election, and
FRANK HURD is delighted to know that he is
at last backed up in his free trade doctrines
by the democratic party of the state, and
gleefully announces himself prepared to
prance his hobby-horse all over the state in
the interest of POWELL. 1t has been very
properly suggested that he be assigned to
duty among the coal-miners and iron-workers,
who sadly need light on this important ques-
ton, since they have long labored under the
impression that their wages were barely
enough to keep the wolf from the door.
They will doubtless be glad to learn that
these same wages can be reduced in such a
miraculous manner as to result in abundance
and prosperity for all. Should they chance
to be familiar with the story of the horse
that died, just as his master had taught him
to live without eating, it might render it a
difficult matter to convince them of this; but
that would make the locality all the filter
place for the display of the unselfsh labors
of this great missionary TO the human race.

The Indian policy of our government hi

The Indian policy of our government has
never been satisfactory or encouraging, and
under the present essentially southern ad-
ministration it is still less SO. During the
past few weeks, orders have been flying thick
and fast from the department of the interior,
announcing the fact that the government
owns the Indians and has the exclusive right
to say what may or may not be taught, not
alone in the government schools, but also in
those supported by private contributions and
known as missionary, parochial and pri-
vate.' Recently an order was issued prohib
iting the teaching in any Indian school of
the Dakota bible, or the using any textbook
printed in that language, and unless these
terms are complied with, military force will
be used. As result, eighteen mission
schools have been given up and others will
have to be soon. Such course on the part
of the government is only equaled by the
chain-gang law of Georgia.

The reply TO the British minister's de-
mand for an explanation from the United
States in regard to the seizure of poaching
British sealers, must be rather an unanswer-
able argument to her Royal Majesty, as it
simply reminds her that, once upon time,
the Alaskan waters were sold to this country
by Russia; and, furthermore, that a United
States law prohibiting the taking of seals
from such waters has existed for a long time.
The seeming forgetfulness of these well
known facts by Great Britain would argue
either wanton disregard of all international
law, or that the imbecility of old age is i'm
pairing the memory of JOHNNY BULL.
